Bridge Over Troubled Waters?


So, China finished building their 26.4 mile long bridge called Jiaozhou Bay Bridge in Qingdao, China.  Not only can I not pronounce that, but I could not see myself driving over it...maybe with a parachute, and life vest.  I tingle just driving over the Annapolis Bay Bridge, and to see this shiver me timbers!  I wonder who the first driver was?  As usual the U.K., has a plethora of unbiased information (which is why I love them!), but you can read all about the bridge and view some awesome pictures at Mail Online.  Anywho, I was trolling the Internet and came across the bridge while drinking my Soju and orange juice, and had to share this pivotal historic moment.  We are living in such interesting times, that there is no reason to exaggerate anything, because it's all just bizarre.  Well, back to my concoction I go :)

Grim Reality

Non discriminatory, non forgiving and encompassing all, is death.  Memento Mori, is the Latin phrase meaning to "Remember your mortality", and can bring a certain perspective to life, and your current frame of mind. As a child, I use to hyperventilate and cry uncontrollably to myself on thoughts of death.  It only worsened when I was taught "The Book of Revelations".  From then on, my idea was to live a reclusive life, and not involve myself with a familial status (and pray to God, I died before the end of the world).  All in hopes to escape the grim reality of death touching loved ones.  Perhaps it was then people became oblivious to me.   Never had I went in search for friends or relationships, but always allowed whatever to happen  non discriminatory.  How is my reclusive life going?  Single divorcee, enjoying her two weeks of freedom. Since my teenage years, I grew a new perspective on death.  When I began ...

Somewhere in the Middle

70 years ago, President Roosevelt delivered his " Day of Infamy " speech, following the attack of Pearl Harbor.  70 years today, you can still visually see the sunken USS Arizona, with the same oil floating in the water, still capturing the bodies of some sailors. About 8 hours west of the Pearl Harbor monument, you will find the Chiran Peace Museum for Kamikaze Pilots,  in Japan, and in between you can see the destruction of war.   66 years later you can still see the effects of the atom bombs dropped over Nagasaki and Hiroshima, where about 200,000 people died as a the result of the attack. Prior to the atom bombs, about 200,000 people were killed in the Battle of Okinawa , and about 20,000 died in the Battle of Guam . Caught in the middle, and always in between are people that have no voice in neither decisions, nor the outcome.  Just like civilians caught in between war and civil battles; daily,  weekly,  or monthly,  you will find children.....

Body of Art

Twelve years ago I dreamed of one of my many deaths.  For the first couple of years I dismissed it.  However, when September 11 occurred, I became scared and distraught.  Later on, I began to investigate my dream, and now I see it as a work of art.  Many forms of art lie all around, but the most interesting ones can be found in a dream of death that begins with the moment of suspense, through the will power of life, and the masterpiece end of defeat. My canvas begins with myself and others lying asleep around a tan colored truck in a desert atmosphere.  I had long hair, and was dressed in a brown t-shirt and light brown camouflage pants, and suede untied boots.  Suddenly I'm running.  I'm running through the desert, houses, backyards, clothes-lines, climbing fences, and continue to run through more desert.  Before long, I was at an empty tavern.  It was cool and clean, and everything made of mud-brick.  I go out the back door and see m...
